You just have to believe in your chess pieces and they'll respond to you :)
Nah, what I need is someone to explain to my why my bad moves were bad and tell me what I should have done. However, play chess partner has not been on mal in quite some time.
In the game that you currently played you defeated yourself. You gave your queen away and after that the game was doomed (though you made mistakes after that too).

if someone wants to practice with me before the tournament. (I am not part of the schedule :( )

@JOAOAA you should have linked the profiles in the participant list it's easier to stalk like that

but that's like way too much effort

....I may once I can be bothered just so people can easily get to the profile

Well, now yes xD ... but in the sign up if you asked for the links it would have been just copy&paste.... well it's over...


anyone practice with me~

Losing the queen was the problem. In my most recent one my set up hinged on getting her? to move her queen but she didn't and the rest of the pieces feel apart. Want to play a game Grrr. I'll lose but it might be good practice.

Nice game, looks like from the two guys I played so far there's some good competition in here.

What happens with draws in the tournament? Rematch?

tbh the results could be posted here instead of pm'd to you, i doubt this thread will get so active that the results would be hard to find

it's easier for me if results are pmd to me as I'll be putting results in the second post

you can post in game if you want to as well

It has begun, yay! Important question: How do you take a screenshot? I've looked it up, but I don't really understand the sites that explained it. I'm really terrible with computers, so if anyone could explain it, I'd be really grateful.

EDIT: I found out how to make the screen shot, put it in paint etc. How do you upload it to MAL?

Would the side be random for a rematch or would it deliberately be the opposite sides?

I love this tactics trainer! Some of the solutions for the harder puzzles are just completely insane. Oh obviously I should have sacrificed a queen to that pawn so that I could pin the king with a bishop three turns later, who wouldn't think of that :o

Suna_Kujira said:

Just upload it to tinypic or imgur or one of those sites, right click picture, copy url and then use the (img)url(/img) with square brackets bbc code.
Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts.

Why do we have to play our games with time control? (45 minutes limit)
My schedule is kinda packed at the moment, and it would be much easier, if I knew I could just play my moves whenever I have time.

People can still play their games in 1 sitting, if that's what they want. But the way it is now, you have to actually set aside time in your schedule for when you want to play your game.

I agree with zymf here if we have 45 minutes for each turn i'll probably lose cuz i have to do something else at some point

It's to prevent people that exploit this and just straight up stall for time and move just before the deadline so the other person loses because either they technically didn't move in time or if they lost in points because the other person was leading and stalled

It's 45 mins a side for the whole game. With both players running down the clock and a game of 60 moves, that's still only 95 mins total. I'm sure you can set out a time of <2 hours at least once in a week.

Oh, I thought it was 45 minutes for each move :P

Still.. It's not that I don't have 2 hours of sparetime, it's just that if I actually have to decide with my opponent on when to play our game. And if for instance we agree to play wednesday at 12 am, I can't make any other plans for wednesday 12 am.

But I can see why some people would rather play the game fast and thus prevent players from stalling. So I will shut up now :P
